Message	A few days ago, I posted a question regarding me not being being able to find a FRP or carbon hatch... I don't find it amusing getting smart ass remarks because someone disagrees with my taste. People tastes vary greatly, everyone is unique, right? I'm looking for a lightweight hatch due to the fact that it is heavy, regardless of it being made of aluminum(which I was aware of). And for the comment about taking the weight off the wrong end of the vehicle, I have FRP fenders, hood and front bumper... I'm looking for collective weight loss, every little bit counts. Dropping the total weight of the vehicle will help the overall handling characteristics. And being that a lot of mass has been taken off the front, it won't hurt to remove a little from the rear. Please, we're all in this for the love a cars, don't cut each other down...without reason.
